Hi all,
I think I've had just about all I can stand of silver compounds, salts, and
stablizers!
Ole' Bob always talks about the "cloud" that appears when adding H2O2 to
colloidal silver. I always shrugged it off, not paying too much attention -
never would I see any such cloud when I added H2O2 to my silver. I would
notice a very slight increase in the tyndall effect. It always remained
crystal clear from the start, there was never any fallout, and all in all,
the CS would remain stable long after the H2O2 fully decomposed.
Then, last week, I used a glass container that had a small amount of silver
plated on the bottom. I was in a rush, and didn't scrub down the glass
before use. I was making a batch to be used specifically WITH hydrogen
peroxide.
When I added the H2O2... What do you know? There was that cloud. The CS
became very turbid, with the solid tyndall effect that has often been
described.
It wasn't until I carefully examined the glass, noticing the small amount of
silver plated, that I realized what was going on. For many applications, I
am very, very careful to make a highly ionic "brew". When doing so, I KNOW
that I am also creating silver particles on the smaller end of the "size
scale". I do so by carefully cleaning everything I use, and never touching
or removing the silver rods, and not "over-running" my batches. Therefore,
when using H2O2 in the past, the reaction with the silver particles is not
as prevalant. I get a clean product that I have never had a problem with.
This particular case, however, was a small emergency. I had been working
with someone on a mouth infection - one that really required surgery, but
the means were not available. This was initially several months previously,
and I did not use colloidal silver. I used healing clay packed in the
mouth. I didn't use silver because the silver must reach the site of the
infection, and I was not certain that it would do so with this infection.
Healing clay has no such restrictions, it does not need to come into contact
with the infection.
The problem is, the instructions have to be followed. Pain relief is often
so quick, that one stops. In fact, having a clay pack inside the mouth is
an uncomfortable experience.
In this case, the individual experienced rapid pain relief, and significant
reduction in swelling/inflammation. The infection was primarily caused by
wisdom teeth that had not grown in fully. The surface infection was removed
upon first treatment, and the individual decided not to continue.
A few months down the road ( here we are ), the condition had resurfaced.
Now, however, the individual had waited too long. The infection had spread
to the ear and possibly even the sinuses, complete with swollen lymph nodes.
Healing clay's ability to eliminate infections that are within the body
does have limits. Had the person continued with clay at the onset of the
pain once more, the condition again would have been arrested. However, too
much time had passed with neglect.
The treatment was started with healing clay in the mouth, with little
tolerance. However, I insisited that we continue, until the clay pulled
enough of the infection out to induce drainage ( the area will begin to
bleed ). When an infection is this deep, the process is painful.
Having accomplished this, it became evident that I wasn't going to be able
to get enough clay in the mouth to do enough good, nor was it being
tolerated well enough to continue the length of time needed for a desired
effect.
Careful examination revealed an abcess, now partially drained. Thus, I
switched tactics.
I used the H2O2 silver formulation at a relatively heavy strength: 2 drops
of 35% H2O2 to eight ounces of colloidal silver. I have no idea how the
colloidal silver reached the entire infection. There is no doubt, however,
that it did, and within seconds. I had the individual lay on the side, and
hold this solution in the mouth for as long as possible. The first time,
tolerance was limited to about 1.5 minutes. The CS was then swallowed ( if
one holds this formulation in your mouth for a long period of time, it is
likely that one won't experience the "H2O2" effect in the stomach ).
The individual described a severe burning sensation from the ear straight
down to the infected gums. This sensation ( which alarmed the individual,
but was not unexpected ) lasted for about 20 minutes, then subsided. As it
subsided, so did all the raw pain from the infection.
This process was repeated three times in a row, over a duration of about two
hours. The burning sensation never occured after the first time.
48 hours later, with "occasional" use, the infection appeared to be
completely eliminated with no inflammed tissues, and the swelling of the
lymph nodes was gone.
Of course, this is not a permanent solution to the root problem of those
wisdom teeth. However, the individual now knows that careful monitoring of
the area and quick action, until the surgeries can be done, will prevent a
potentially life-threatening condition!
I do not know if the CS would have worked as well without first draining the
abcess with the use of healing clay. I certainly couldn't take that chance.
Keep in mind that mouth infections CAN travel straight to the heart.
Action must be swift and "sweepingly" successful - it's certainly not
something to play around with!
I do not know, ultimately, which type of silver will be most effective for
what within the human body - ionic or particle. In this case, I learned (
and have hence experimented a bit ) that a high particle product produces a
very strong reaction with the H2O2 - I was certain in this case to get the
best of both worlds. Therefore, one should apply caution because you don't
want to destroy partially damaged tissues in sensitive areas of the body.
